American Idol - The Girls

So here's the dilemma if you're a young woman on "American Idol": what exactly do you wear?
Do you dress as if you were performing with the local bar band or going on a first date, or do you dress as if you were performing at an upscale piano bar?
Watching the female contestants Wednesday night, some of the girls got it right when it came to finding just the right look that suited their personal style, the demands of being on a television show, and looked good.
Fashion-wise, Haley Scarnato's black bustier and black pants were picture perfect elegance, though Simon was right when he noted it made her look older than 24.
Personally, I liked Nicole Tranquillo's black beaded top and Gina Glocksen's classy punk-goth look (I want that cross pendant!!).
But at the end of the day, a good performance makes you forget any fashion faux pas.
Melinda Doolittle's look didn't flatter her body, especially the cut through the shoulders of her leather jacket (wrong top to wear with under that, by the way). But when you can sing like Melinda, who cares? That sistah's got PIPES!!
